should i plagiarize for a school paper
Hey Jow Forums
Depends. If you're in HS then maybe. If you're in university don't risk it, the consequences are pretty bad if they find out.
How about paraphrasing instead?
There are plagiarism checkers so it probably isn't a great idea, but if you're feeling lucky you can try.
Depends.
Why are you cheating?
What is your situation?
It all depends on that.
Where I studied, many times is really justificable to cheat on an exam, copy work from someone from another year, that sort of thing. Also, is not uncommon for teachers to be ok/expect cheating.
Yes, my university was fucked up.
if i got another paper and submitted it just with all the sentences slightly changed wouldnt that still count as plagiarism?
im considering it just because i can. there's someone who was in my class last year thats willing to give me their papers for me to copy.
im worried that the teacher will think my paper sounds familiar and go back and check the papers of previous years
>im considering it just because i can
Coming from a guy who will proudly talk about all the times I cheated, and even considers passing on a course where he cheated several times one of the greatest achievements of his life, you should know that "just because i can" is a stupid ass motive.
If you can do it properly, do it properly.
how does one do it properly?
Nothing wrong with plagiarizing, so long as you write it in your own words, and structure it differently.
thats what im thinking of doing. im not stupid enough to hand in the exact same paper as someone else.
>how does one do it properly?
If you can do it without cheating, do it without cheating.
If you need to cheat, don't get caught.
But really, I get the overall vibe that you shouldn't copy the paper. That is what my spider senses tell me. And again, I have cheated through my entire degree, so its not like I'm on a high horse or anything.
